Our Commitment

EconLearn is built for students and educators. Our business model is straightforward: schools and students pay for the platform. That means:

  • We never sell student data
  • We never show ads to students or teachers
  • We handle all data in accordance with FERPA

Privacy is not an afterthought. It is central to how we build and operate EconLearn.

FERPA Compliance

When providing services to schools and districts, EconLearn acts as a “school official” under FERPA with a legitimate educational interest in student education records.

  • We use student education records only for the purposes for which the school authorized access.
  • We do not disclose student records to third parties except as required to operate the platform or as directed by the school.
  • We will sign a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) or Student Data Privacy Agreement with any school or district upon request.

How We Use Data

We use data to:

  • Provide the learning platform and its features
  • Show teachers their students' progress and performance
  • Generate classroom and school-level analytics

Data Storage & Security

  • All data stored in the United States via Supabase (hosted on AWS).
  • Data encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest.
  • Access controls and row-level security enforced on all database tables.

Data Ownership

  • Schools and districts own all student data generated through their classrooms.
  • Individual students own their personal learning data.
  • Data can be exported or deleted upon request.

Data Retention & Deletion

  • Account data is retained while the account is active.
  • Schools and districts can request bulk deletion of student data at any time.
  • Individual users can delete their account and all associated data at any time.
  • After account deletion, data is permanently removed within 30 days.

Children’s Privacy (COPPA)

EconLearn is designed for high school students, typically ages 15–18.

  • We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13.
  • If a school uses EconLearn with students under 13, the school must obtain parental consent in accordance with COPPA.

We use the following third-party services to operate the platform:

Supabase
